The Sacred Rock of Thought

Morning of November 9, 1975. Sunday.

I have posted this dream before (on the original dream journal site), which has an almost epic feel in the main, longer version. This was on a fairly old online journal of years ago. I am not sure if this is the same version, but I think it is the longest and most detailed one. (Another version is where I became lucid and went off on a tangent so is fairly pointless, as it does not have the O. Henry ending.) The original title in my first journal entry of one was "The Sacred Rock of Thinking". Over time, that did not sound quite right, so this is the present title I have stuck with.

I am in my ninth grade mathematics class with Mr. Forbes. For some reason, we are watching some sort of movie about archaeologists. (In another version, I believe it was my English class.) They seem, however, to be in light tan safari outfits. There are at least two men and at least two women. Over time, they enter a large cave and look around for a legendary rock that is supposed to materialize your thoughts into reality. They are carrying torches. I believe the rock may be a "lost" piece from Stonehenge. As they walk along, one of the women mentions something about bats, saying that she hopes that there are not any bats in the cave. Shortly after this, bats appear and fly close to them and they seem startled as more and more appear. Eventually, they are entering a larger area. There is an unusual boulder that is sort of an orange-yellow color, and with various hollow areas, almost reminding me of a giant sponge (but shaped like a somewhat partially flattened egg).

In a way, this boulder vaguely resembles an orange human brain.

At this point, I seem to be in the movie after thinking that "it would be interesting to be in the movie" as if the film of the rock alone actually caused this to happen (through the rock's "power"). The other people look at me curiously, but walk on after a few strange glances at each other. For a short time, it is almost as if I can see out into the classroom until we go farther into the cave.

Soon, I am thinking that I would like to be back home in Cubitis in my backyard. Suddenly, I am there. The strange boulder is also there. It seems to be in a sort of pool though, or represent some sort of abstract design relating to a fountain. My friends visit, female classmate Sandra R and best friend Toby T. They find the sight rather strange. For some reason, Sandra mentions something about where my cat is, and uses the term "that bobcat of yours" (it was actually only a hybrid with a bobcat grandfather). Soon, an actual bobcat appears and is somewhat threatening. Toby does his "mock running away" at first before getting out of the area for real. This involves a mock march, singing "Over hill, over dale...sorry Dale!"

"I sure wish that animal wasn't around here," says Toby, loudly, and the animal is gone and Sandra comes out of hiding.

Over time, other strange things happen. Money comes and goes in strange ways, which is not always a precursor to a positive event. It starts after Sandra asks something about why the rock was a strange orange color and not gold - and so the rock turns into gold as well as having the power to materialize thoughts. Some (unknown, but possibly one being a classmate) people appear and break a couple thinner pieces off and leave (which means they may also have the power where thought is materialized unless there is something at the core of the original boulder). A helicopter appears overhead at one point, which seems to mean that the original exploration team has found me. A lift and hook of some kind is able to lift the rock several feet into the air by attaching to parts of its sponge-like exterior. "I wish that helicopter was elsewhere," I shout, and the rock falls back into my backyard in the same position.

After a time, some sort of actual international war breaks out relative to where the rock is.

Someone says (possibly Sandra) "I wish this rock never existed". And...

I am back in my class watching a movie about four people who are confused about why they suddenly find themselves in a cave. "What were we looking for again?" asks a puzzled woman, her voice blasting in a hypnopompic audio pulse upon waking.
